Layered Fish and Potato Pie With Saffron Leeks image

Russ found this recipe in a recent New Idea. He made it tonight and figures almost any white or smoked fish would be good in it. It was really delicious-simple flavours that worked well with the beautiful whiting I caught this afternoon.

This pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have used less salt next time.

The pie was good, but not great. I think it needed more seasoning. I would also have preferred a thicker crust.

The pie was a bit dry. I think I would have added more butter or milk to the filling. Overall, it was still a tasty dish.

This pie was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of fish, such as salmon or tilapia.
